Overview Puradine 5% Ointment

Dermasept 5% Ointment acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's indicated for treating and preventing wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Dermasept 5% Ointment is for external application only, strictly following your physician's instructions. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry prior to use. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after application. Consistent use maximizes therapeutic benefit; avoid overuse, as this won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects.
